Hi Michael,

I am not a script person, but let me try to help you figuring out whats wrong.

First I assumed that the user executing the script has the necessary 
privileges t update the privilege database /datadir/mysql (for Linux f.e 
/var/lib/mysql/mysql) . 

The second I tried your SQL statement which works just fine.

So if I take out the SQL statement

eval "/path/to/mysql --user=root --password=***** 
--socket=/path/to/socket --database=mysql --execute=\"
...
\""
 
and then I would like you to take a sharp look at whats left, then there 
should perhaps be something with this part above. Perhaps the " at the very 
end is not escaped correctly (double) or something similar. The actual SQL 
statement works perfectly fine.

Best regards
